We stayed in 3 hotels during our japan trip and this was the worst. We booked for 4 people and were provided only with 2 pillows 2 towels, the blanket is supposed yo cover two people on a double bed but it was too small. The staff was never present at the front desk, they charged us some random tax upon arrival even if we paid taxes during our booking (the other others did no such thing) the hotel was very small tight rooms, we couldnt wait to get out of there.

The toilet smelt horrible for some reason. it was a wet dewy, sweat smell that could not be removed. the room was dusty as well. Linens were ok. Room space was sufficient to put 4 single beds. I would be better off choosing other hotels and skipping this. Mainly due to cleanliness. My travel mate found an unopened box of chips at the bed/wall corner. So we are pretty miffed by the cleanliness standards here.

Good stay.

Room was quite small and the room heats up very quickly when the AC is off, otherwise it's very convenient and close to public transportation and amenities.

Location is very convenient to Kyoto train station and family mart for snacks. The balcony is not very useful for the street view. There was only one small pillow provided for each person in the room but the beds were large enough for two people. The robes were looking worn but clean. The amenities in the lobby were very nice including the Laundry machine , microwave, ice machine, vending machine, hot/cold water dispenser with coffee/tea, other basic toiletry items provided too (razor, lotion, slippers, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc.). The front gate/door are automatic, no code needed to get in, security camera in the lobby, no staff available 24/7, anyone can get in/out and use the elevator. I would feel safer if there were access codes or use of room key requirements to use the elevator. However, the area seemed very safe. Smoking room is located in the lobby. I did not smell any smoke at all which is good. The tub was pretty small but deep enough for a good bath. Check in and out was quick and easy. The staff were helpful when needed. Not much English conversations but enough to communicate. Google translate is very useful.

The auto check in and out was very high tech and quite easy. The location is excellent as it's a short walk to buse stops train station. We had a double twin room, which is quite small but the beds are clean and comfortable. The bathroom is super small, but again very clean. We were out most of the day and used the space to rest so did not really mind much of the tiny space. For a boutique hotel, it's simple and serves its purpose for travellers.
The staff is also exceptionally courteous.

京都駅から徒歩5分ほどで、電車やバスの利用に便利でした。部屋、バスルームは狭く、朝食の提供はありません。部屋にはペットボトルの水のサービスがありました。１Fに洗濯機・乾燥機があり便利です。フロントはありますが、夜12時までにチェックインする必要があり、深夜到着には不向きです。チェックアウト後に荷物の預かりをしてもらえました。
